About our Aesthetic, Medical and Sports Centre
We are inspired by Synergy and Nature – the way things can work together for the ‘greater good’. At Synergy Holistix, we focus on enhancing your personal health journey through various treatments, ultimately allowing you to heal, thrive and live pain-free. With the rate at which medicine and healing is currently advancing, we always ensure that we recognize the entire perspective of health – body, diet, emotional, physical, trauma, and other aspects. My team of passionate and experienced therapists understand this concept and incorporate this broader approach into their diagnosis of each patient, together with the patient’s specific requirements.
Our Story
The Synergy Holistix story began with myself Dr Wayne Borowsky (Chiropractic Practitioner), and my experience in blending Chiropractics with other healing fields. It’s has been a magnificent adventure!
The patients who would arrive at my practice, often entered our doors feeling so demoralized, having previously had no cure or relief from their prior treatments, and after having exhausted all possible fields, were finally able to show significant improvement with our broader approach. Chiropractics can be used in very different forms and modalities, and I was allowing it to fulfill its potential as such.
As a result of this success, my curiosity was piqued as to the immeasurable potential of opening a Centre that encapsulated different modalities, where a patient could utilize each, to achieve optimum health and balance in their life. Hence, Synergy Holistix was born as a Centre for Health and Wellness, incorporating medicine and healing in all its forms. Our purpose focuses on allowing each and every individual to enhance their own personal health journey, through the various treatments, according to their own specific requirements, ultimately allowing them to thrive and live pain-free.
The Centre offers Chiropractic, Biokinetics, Massage and more. Each member in our team of therapists decides his approach and what is best for their patient, bearing in mind the Synergy Holistix philosophy of: ‘The synergy of different healing forums is often essential to achieve a successful end product and to deliver a quality of maximal pain free, and non-restrictive functioning for each person’. Especially with the rate at which medicine and healing is currently advancing, we must ensure that we recognize the entire perspective – body, diet, emotional, physical, trauma, and other aspects.
The Next Step
One of my role models is the late Christopher Reeve. He encapsulated the phrase: “So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they seem inevitable.”
This notion was a massive trigger for me, blended together with the theory of “The Law of Attraction”. Both of these were catalysts for my vision of a fully integrated and holistic multifaceted medical centre.
Also, whilst on my journey in private practice, I have had the honour of meeting and being associated with brilliant fellow healers and therapists. This all led me to the concept and genesis of Synergy Holistix, which currently exists as a Health and Wellness Centre and has been in the progressive and growing phase for the last couple of years. However we have now initiated building our very own dream premises, which will open up in 2017!
The premises will be based in the northern suburb of Pierneef Park, which is adjacent to Victory Park. Our team will continue forward integrating the Synergy Holistix philosophy and principles, but ultimately we will shift into a new space. The new Centre will blend modern studios and treatment rooms, with multifaceted training regimes with state of the art equipment. We will cover all elements with ready-made facilities for aquatic and land based sports and another healing initiatives to cover all musculoskeletal pathologies.
We hope to eventually incorporate aqua therapy, core focused and injury preventative programs, aesthetic medicine, yoga, pilates, a variety of cross training programs, boxing, mixed martial arts, pole dancing based exercise, art therapy, dance therapy, neural linguistic therapies, trauma therapies, and other beauty services. We also plan on having our very own health bar, which will serve a variety of nutritious juices and coffees.
The Centre with its multiple facets will benefit patients from all walks of life. From the avid dancer, cross fitter, hiker, ball sport player, swimmer, triathlete, runner, to any person experiencing non-sporting neuro muscular skeletal and pathological conditions. The growing field of aesthetic medicine will allow us to nurture patients, sportsmen and women, who desire treatments to enhance their performance.
We can’t wait to have you join us….
Our Professional Team of Experts
Dr Wayne Borowsky
Chiropractic Practitioner- Mtec Degree (TSW) SA
My philosophy has always been based on blending healing methodologies, and I can testify to both the physical and emotional manifestation of this. By focusing on both spheres, it allows one to naturally treat more than just the symptoms. My team at Synergy Holistix all share philosophies.
Each patient has to be treated uniquely, and the treatment platform will be decided on an individual basis.
Dr Marco Maruggi
Chiropractic Practitioner- M.Tech Chiropractic (UJ)
My main passion has always been sport and I have played at a provincial level. Over the past 10 years, I experienced many injuries due to sport and this led me to be treated by our very own Dr. Wayne Borowsky – whom I learned a lot from.
As a result of this, my passion subsequently went from playing sport to treating sport-related injuries, as well as the general well-being of patients.
